I was reborn after playing a good hand badly

The reason these insectoids sent to Earth chose to mutate from biological samples that had existed on Earth's native planet was because this would allow them to integrate into the planet's environment more quickly and smoothly, not because they originally looked like that.

Whether it was the initial Mantis Beast, Blue Light Bug, or the later, even larger Shark Beasts, they were all just appearances. These natives didn't understand their strategy and even gave them low-class code names.

Despite their dissatisfaction, the Mulch is merely a basic combat command unit within the Zerg's overall framework. They have their own advantages; as long as they have enough energy, they can continuously reproduce large numbers of soldiers.

These soldiers are absolutely obedient to their respective mother hives. The mother hives can send them to slaughter the natives, but the mother hives will not hold a meeting with the natives to discuss how to address each other, just because they are more powerful than the natives.

Such things are both unnecessary and shameful for advanced civilizations that already have a sense of superiority, because in their eyes, the natives of these backward planets are utterly insignificant.

The natives, unable to fathom their true nature, called them the insectoid race, while the insectoid race used only the term "native" to refer to the creatures on the invaded planets.

"If you look down on our Earth and Earth civilization so much, why did you even come?"

"Looks like even advanced civilizations aren't having an easy time. Have they fallen so low that they have to resort to stealing resources from lower civilizations they look down on?" Su Mo mocked without any politeness.

She was silent for a moment, just pondering how the obscure and difficult Zerg language had made this guy so proud again.

Su Mo really wanted to send a dozen water arrows to the mother nest to give it a taste, but she was also worried that she might accidentally stab the other party in a vital spot and kill it directly.

If she hadn't wanted to get some information out of this seemingly not-so-intelligent mother hive, she definitely wouldn't have been able to tolerate it.

The Zerg didn't even have the ability to directly destroy civilizations on Earth, yet they fought a protracted war with them for so long. Based on this alone, Su Mo didn't think the Zerg civilization was much stronger than the Earth civilization.

Su Mo thought of the vast universe outside, which was probably a huge battlefield, and that's why the Zerg dared to bully their Blue Star.

So she made her sarcastic remarks very casually.

Su Mo's words were unpleasant and greatly angered the Mother Nest.

The dim light on its massive body kept flowing, as if it was experiencing significant emotional fluctuations, but those turbulent emotions were still controlled by the mother nest.

It didn't argue with Su Mo about who was better or worse, and said calmly, "The resources are right there. If you can't protect them, you can't blame others for taking them."

These words left Su Mo speechless, and she slowly clenched her fists as she leaned on the railing of the flying boat.

The law of the jungle seems to apply everywhere. How could she expect an alien species that already considers itself superior to covet Earth's resources to engage in polite and equal trade with them?

If someone had the ability to simply take it, who would do that?

"There's only one kind of resource you're eyeing, right?" Su Mo's eyes swept over the dimly lit secret realm passages.

She didn't explicitly mention psychic powers, but that's the gist of it.

The mother nest paused for a moment before replying, "You could say that."

In fact, there are several other mineral resources that they also target, but they feel it is unnecessary to mention them now and provoke the unknown natives in front of them.

It is aware of its current situation, and it has already stored a large amount of energy in its body, and it wants to stay here to absorb all the remaining energy.

Their mission is already halfway through, and in a few more years (in Earth time), their kind will arrive to collect the results.

Therefore, it doesn't want to anger the other party if possible, causing its mission to end prematurely.

To appease the native, the Mother Nest continued unhurriedly, "As you think, there aren't many resources that we value. If we can collect them ourselves, then the war between the two sides can be stopped."

The Mother Nest believed that its words had already given the native inhabitants of Earth a huge concession; as long as the natives did not interfere with their energy collection, they were not necessarily going to massacre them.

Of course, what happens after they finish their business? That's another story.

But for now, the mother nest felt that there was nothing wrong with her proposal, and it was willing to give the native who was able to kill her some time to think.

As long as the other party doesn't harm it or steal its energy, it's fine.

However, the mother nest's suggestion, which it considered to be a significant concession, only fueled Su Mo's anger.

"Stop the war? Why didn't you say that in the first place?"

If she waits until most of humanity on Earth has been slaughtered, until she has a knife to her throat, before she speaks, who would believe her?

The mother nest "..."

"Human, calm down."

"Starting a war is not a good idea, but experience tells us that there will be a lot of trouble if we don't do it. If we can get what we want peacefully, we don't want to do it this way," it explained.

After all, breeding soldiers used as cannon fodder in the brood mound also consumes energy. If this energy can be saved, it would be a good thing for the Zerg.

If the natives were more obedient and docile, they wouldn't want to start a war.

Earth was certainly not the first planet the Zerg invaded, nor were the humans on Earth the first civilization they slaughtered. They had already wiped out countless planetary civilizations, some weaker than Earth, but most stronger.

Regardless of the strength of the native inhabitants on those planets in the past, they were all very naive.

The weak believe that as long as they submit, they can have a chance to survive. The stronger ones fight to the death. They survive the first wave of low-level soldiers, but there are second and third waves waiting for them. The Zerg can launch this kind of progressive attack five or six times.

At least none of the civilizations they encountered were able to withstand the entirety of it.

Blue Star? Of course not.

The mother nest's spiritual power was locked onto the water sphere, and it was also constantly observing the mental state of the natives inside the water sphere.

"Are there many other civilizations in the universe?" Su Mo asked aloud, but he had his own guesses in his mind.

The mother hive's words were all based on experience. It's easy to imagine that these pests have ravaged countless planets. In the eyes of the Zerg, any resource they set their sights on is already theirs, even if that resource is in someone else's territory.

"Of course," the mother nest answered instinctively, not expecting the other party to ask these questions so suddenly.
